A.  SAFETY PRECAUTIONS 
¡  Refer to Figure 2-1. A hazardous situation may exist when using the lift or ramp if the 
vehicle is parked on either a side or front-to-rear slope. Always operate the lift or ramp 
with the vehicle parked on level ground. 
¡  Vehicle must be safely parked with the engine turned off before using the lift or ramp. 
¡  Inspect the power door operators prior to each use. If unusual noises or movements ex-
ist, DO NOT use and contact an authorized Ricon service technician for repair. 
¡  Do not place arms, legs, or clothing in or near moving parts. 
¡  Keep others clear while operating. 
¡  Do not allow an untrained person to operate. 
¡  Exercise supervision if used by or near children. 
¡  Never leave the lift or ramp outside of vehicle and the vehicle door open. Always return 
lift or ramp to stowed position and allow the power door operators to close the doors af-
ter use. 
Be sure that these safety precautions have been read and understood. Review them periodi-
cally, and ask any attendants or other vehicle operators to read them as well. If there are any 
questions, contact an authorized Ricon service technician or call Ricon Product Support.
